Looking for you in reincarnation

Si He and Ning Ji rode their horses, trotting all the way, neither fast nor slow, mainly because they took into consideration that she did not know how to ride a horse.

Ning Ji didn't slow down until they were far away from the area and no one was chasing them.

An hour later, they passed a small town and stopped their horses to rest at an inn on the side of the road.

Si He asked for a guest room and went upstairs with Ning Ji. She had something to discuss with him, and under the current circumstances, she couldn't hide it from him anymore.

After entering the room, she took off her bundle and opened it while she spoke to him, "I was on the run to avoid a marriage arranged by my family. Later, on the way, I followed a group of refugees and participated in a search for medicine in the mountains. The medicine they were looking for was the Dragon Spirit Flower on this parchment scroll."

She took out a parchment scroll, spread it out on the table, and pointed at the pattern on it. She continued, "I picked up this parchment scroll by accident, and it allowed me to glimpse this secret. It turns out that the medicine-seeking team planned to feed us to the evil corpses and raise new corpses at the same time. Because I picked up this parchment scroll and saw the true face of the leader of the medicine-seeking team, I was hunted all the way."

She raised her eyes and looked at Ning Ji, "The group of people who entered Chenjiazhai before were the ones looking for medicine. I guess those thieves leaked the news and attracted them here."

Ning Ji lowered his head and looked at the parchment on the table, he read it seriously.

"Cousin, do you recognize this character?"

He responded, "Yeah."

As such, she didn't need to explain the above content any further. She only talked about the medicine-hunting team. "The leader of this medicine-hunting team is the current imperial tutor, an old man named Jiang. I've seen his skills and appearance. He looks neither human nor ghost, so he wears a veil all day and never shows his true face. However, his skills are uncanny. He was able to seriously injure a giant snake to death."

She briefly described the scene of Old Man Jiang fighting the giant snake, and finally said: "Mo Mo is the descendant of that giant snake."

When Momo heard her say its name, it crawled out from her wrist and looked at her, so she touched its head.

Ning Ji turned his head and took a look at it. After a while, he continued to look at the parchment on the table.

Si He sat on a chair nearby, picked up the teapot, poured him a glass of water, and continued, "That old man should be the one mentioned in the parchment scroll who nourishes spirits. I saw him consuming spirits in the tomb."

Ning Ji withdrew his gaze and looked at Si He. He picked up the cup, took a sip, and listened to her talk about what happened in the tomb.

Perhaps because of her inexplicable trust in Ning Ji, she even told her about eating the Dragon Spirit Flower. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain how she escaped from the heart of Tianshan Mountain.

She only confessed to him the changes in her body and that her eyes could see in the dark, but she did not tell him about her ability to bewitch and her ability of shallow perspective. This was her last trump card.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Ning Ji with an apologetic look on her face, "I'm sorry, cousin, I've implicated you in this matter."

He said, "No problem, I also want to see this so-called sperm-raising person, or rather, the living dead."

Hearing this, she became a little worried, "Cousin, you don't know how powerful he is! This is not a normal person at all!"

Ning Ji said: "You don't have to meet him to gain experience."

Well, he was more curious than she was.

She poured herself a glass of water and drank it, unable to help but sigh in her heart. She didn't expect that after escaping from Tianshan, she would meet that damn old man again.

"Would it be convenient for me to check your pulse?"

She said that her body had undergone strange changes after eating the Dragon Spirit Flower, so he was quite curious about it, after all, he specialized in medicine.

Si He looked up at him and nodded readily. After putting down the cup in her hand, she handed it over.

Ning Ji also stretched out his hand, placed his fingertips on her wrist, and carefully checked her physical condition.

After a while, he frowned and thought intently, but his fingertips remained on it and did not move away.

Time passed by little by little. Seeing him like this, she felt a little panicked, but she didn't dare to disturb him, so she could only sit quietly.

After a long time, he regained his composure and withdrew his hand. He looked at Si He's face, checked her complexion, and asked, "Stick out your tongue, let me see it."

She immediately opened her mouth obediently, stuck out her tongue and looked at him.

"Have you been feeling unwell recently?" he asked.

She retracted her tongue, thought for a moment, and said, "No."

He asked again: "What about yesterday afternoon?"

She smiled awkwardly, "I just felt uncomfortable after seeing the team looking for medicine. Cousin, am I okay?"

He thought for a moment and said, "Your pulse is a little strange, but since you're not feeling unwell, it shouldn't be a bad thing."

Hearing him say this, she felt a little relieved.

He looked back at the parchment on the table, his eyes darkened slightly, and then asked her some questions about the environment in the heart of Tianshan Mountain and the situation of the tomb.

Si He knew that he was knowledgeable, so she told him in detail what she had seen and heard, including the strange vision similar to the barrier she saw when she left Tianshan.

This time, he asked very detailed questions, including the carvings in the tomb, the appearance, characteristics, and reactions of the corpse, etc.

Si He answered one by one, and they chatted until dark, and time passed in a flash.

Ning Ji looked at the sky outside and stopped asking questions.

He took out a few small balls as big as quail eggs from his bag and handed them to her, saying, "These are smoke bombs I made. If you encounter danger, they can delay you for a while. You can use them for self-defense."

Si He took the gray little balls and looked at them carefully with curiosity.

He said: "It's very simple to use, just hit it hard on the ground."

"Thank you, cousin." She was quite interested in this thing. As for things that could protect herself, the more the better.

At this time, he took out another small bottle and continued, "This is corrosive water, also a self-defense item. It has great damage potential, so be careful when you keep it."

This is a small bluish-white porcelain bottle with a tight seal, but the bottle body looks quite thin and delicate.

When Si He looked at this thing, his eyes lit up even more. He didn't expect that he had so many useful little things!

"Cousin, you are so awesome!" She took it carefully, but did not dare to open it, after all, it was a corrosive substance.

He was very pleased with her admiration and praise, and couldn't help but smile a little.

"Put your things away and eat something first."

After hearing what he said, Si He realized that she was very hungry. She hadn't eaten lunch or dinner. "Okay."

She put her things away and then rummaged through her bag.

Fortunately, there was still some dry food in the bag, which I bought when I left the city before, so I could eat a little.

After lighting the candles, they were about to eat something when they suddenly heard a loud noise downstairs.

Inexplicably, Si He had a bad feeling in her heart, "Cousin..."
